How to Get Early Access

There are two ways to secure early access to the Open Beta:

Digital pre-orders or purchases made through the Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, Battle.net, or Steam will automatically qualify. No codes are needed—when Early Access begins, you’ll be able to download the Beta immediately.

Retail pre-orders from participating stores will include a 13-character Early Access code printed on your receipt or sent via email. This code must be redeemed at callofduty.com/betaredeem.

Players who subscribe to certain Game Pass plans (Ultimate, PC, or Console) are also eligible for Early Access without needing a code.

Redeeming Beta Codes

If you received a code from a retailer, head to the official redemption site, log in with your Activision account, and register your code. Once verified, you’ll be emailed an Early Access Beta token closer to the start date. Make sure your email address in your Activision profile is current to avoid missing important updates.
